TRUSTEE VIEWPOINT

by Brandi Karisch, Eastern Region As I sit down to write this viewpoint, I am just eight months into my term representing the eastern region as a brand new ASA trustee. Growing up as a Simmental kid, it still seems a little surreal to me that I get to serve our organization that shaped so much of who I am today. For those of you who I have not had the pleasure to meet yet, I hope we get to visit at a Simmental event soon.

Consider this viewpoint an introduction to me. Currently, I wear a few different hats on a daily basis. Professionally, I am the State Beef Cattle Extension Specialist for Mississippi State University.

I get to help cattle producers on a day-to-day basis with questions, put on workshops, speak at meetings, and do applied beef cattle research. I mentor graduate and undergraduate students in research and supervised internships, and help coordinate our livestock judging team. Personally, my favorite hats to wear are mom to Mason (8) and Miles (4) and wife to Matt. Together, the four of us have MBK Cattle, where we raise Simmental, SimAngus, and Simbrah cattle here in northeast Mississippi. Our goal is to produce functional cattle that work in our environment, and we also strive for cattle with added look and substance. We have always enjoyed the competition of the show ring, and exhibit cattle as well as sell several junior projects each year.

This past summer I got to experience my first National Classic on the other side of the fence as a mom. Our oldest has been showing since he was six, and we have anxiously looked forward to this summer for several years. I’ve always believed our junior program is the best place to raise kids, and I finally got to experience it from the other side. It was a full-circle experience because so many of my fellow juniors are in the same boat as parents of exhibitors. I joked that we needed to plan an AJSA alumni reunion at next year’s Classic, so we could take the time out from our busy parent schedules to catch up and visit more. I’m happy to report that Mason competed in all five contests and came away saying Sales Talk was his favorite, and Public Speaking was his second favorite, and asked where we get to go next year. He even got to bring home a couple of banners. I’m calling that a mom win.

As I’ve gotten to know my fellow board members over the last few months, I am proud of this group that has been elected by the Association. Our board has worked together on some tough issues over the last few months, and I have faith that we will continue to work well together going forward. I have a goal during my term to grow involvement and participation from our membership in the association. If I can help to address any thoughts or concerns, I would love to visit with you. n

Mason, Miles, and Brandi at the 2023 AJSA National Classic in Des Moines, Iowa.

R_F_Oval F The Cow Makes the Difference.qxp_Layout 1 8/16/23 12:25 PM Page 2

The

Cow

Makes the Difference

by Lilly Platts

Oval F Ranch, located in the rolling fescue hills of northwest Missouri, started breeding Simmental in 1971 with the purchase of seven halfblood daughters by Parisien. These heifers were bred to Bismark, and laid the foundation for generations of Simmental genetics to come.

T

oday, the Fischer family — Don and Marilyn, their son, Matt, and his wife, Andrea, and their daughters, Ella and Kate — are continually improving their cow herd, with a special focus on breeding strong females.

Oval F bulls are primarily marketed by private treaty and select females are sold through Missouri Simmental Association (MSA) sales. Matt was involved with the AJSA, and later worked in the AI industry for over 20 years; both experiences continue to inform his role at Oval F.

Simmental Since the 70s Don Fischer explains that their start in the Simmental business was somewhat by chance. “Marilyn and I were getting into a partnership commercial herd at the time, and were on a cow buying trip to the Sandhills of Nebraska.

We bought quite a few Hereford cows, but this guy also had some halfblood Simmental he had bred. We had heard of Simmental, and studied it quite a bit. Long story short, we ended up with those halfblood heifers.”

Register / September 2023

They bred these heifers to a Simmental bull, and continued breeding up until they had a group of purebred Simmental females. “From our research in the beginning, we looked to Simmental to get the traits they were being used for in Europe, which are meat and milk. They were a good combination, and it didn’t take long having some Simmental blood in our herd for us to figure out that they are good at raising a calf,” Don continues.

The Oval F cow herd has evolved significantly over the years, from the original brown and white cattle to being mostly homozygous black and polled today. Don recalls that their herd was red in the 1980s, with only a few white spots appearing occasionally. They soon realized that black-hided cattle were going to dominate the industry, and began the process of transitioning their cow herd. Changing this took time and care, since they had built several generations of their own genetics and wanted to maintain the traits they had worked hard for.

Through careful selection, they added black genetics through homozygous black bulls.

Above: Don (left) and Matt Fischer. Below: The Fischer family began breeding Simmental cattle in 1971.

Oval F also endured other changes in the breed, like frame size. “We kept our feet on the ground and tried to keep the productivity in our cattle. That kept us in check,” Don shares.

Strong Females Make Reliable Bulls Oval F places a high priority on breeding productive, sound, big-bodied, fertile females. “I feel my number one goal is to make my next generation of replacement females,” Matt shares. “I want to make cows that will stay with me. The cow makes the difference, and we’ve been able to identify cow families that really shine for us year after year.”

Northeast Missouri is fescue country, which the Simmental breed is especially adaptable to. The Fischers manage their cow herd in the same manner as their commercial customers, and don’t use supplements like creep feed. “We make a cow earn her keep,” Matt explains.

With a strong female foundation, Oval F is able to breed bulls that work for their commercial customers.

“We want to make commercial bulls that our customers

and neighbors can use to improve their program and thrive in their business,” Matt says.

Many Oval F customers live in the same area, and many are neighbors. This has allowed the Fischers to see firsthand how their bulls are working. Don shares, “I’m always eager to figure out what our customers’ needs are and to see if we can help fill them. Most of the time, they are retaining heifers and putting them back in the herd.

They’re concerned with calving ease and growth, but they also want maternal traits, like good feet and legs, and udders.”

To meet these needs, balance is at the heart of their genetic decisions. “To balance type and data is a neverending task for us,” Matt shares. “We try to evaluate cattle from the ground up. Then we make sure the data fits the cattle.”

Maintaining this balance can be a challenge, especially since they want each animal to count. “We aren’t able to have many ‘throwaways,’” Matt shares. “We try to make solid judgments, which comes back to both data that we can see on paper and phenotype. We sort cattle pretty hard, and figure out if anything is going to be a detriment (Continued on page 12)

to us or our customers, or if it’s going to lead us in the right direction. I feel fortunate that we’ve made a lot of strides in the right direction in the last several years.”

Staying focused on the positives and negatives in the cow herd also helps them remain balanced. “We want to find the rock stars, but we also want to make sure we don’t use a problematic bull too,” Matt explains. “I’ve been able to watch our genetics change significantly for the better over the last several years. It’s been evident in our bull sale pen. Customers have been very pleased with our bulls, and I’m very proud of them.”

The Fischers have also maintained a focus on the traits their commercial customers care about. “When it comes down to the nuts and bolts of it, our bull customers want to know what the bulls’ birth weights are, what their growth is, and their milk numbers,” Matt explains.

While the majority of the cow herd is black, Oval F continues to raise some red genetics. “We are primarily homozygous black, but we have some customers who are looking for red bulls,” Matt says.

Register / September 2023

Technology like DNA testing and programs like Total Herd Enrollment (THE) have helped them to balance numbers and phenotype. Through THE, Oval F is able to track the performance of every cow in the herd. “It’s been a very good way for us to make sure nothing slips through the cracks,” Matt explains. “Overall, it helps us do better, and make sure everything is accounted for.”

The Next Generations Don is proud to have built 20 generations of Simmental genetics, and also for several generations of the Fischer family to be involved. Matt grew up being extremely involved with the breed, participating in the AJSA, and decided to remain involved with the family business. “My very first show heifer was born in 1984, and I still remember driving through the pasture gate with dad the morning the heifer was born and claiming her,” Matt recalls. “I have fond memories of that time.

The following year was when my older brother went to

R_F_Oval F The Cow Makes the Difference.qxp_Layout 1 8/23/23 9:00 AM Page 5

his first AJSA National Classic, and my grandparents took me to my first county fair. It’s the kind of memory I’ll always have, and it was certainly an experience that instilled a lot of values into what I do today.”

Matt continued showing competitively through the AJSA and 4-H. Today, his daughters, Ella and Kate, are coming up through the AJSA. “It’s been a strong part of our family,” Matt says. “It meant a lot to us, and I think it was a very positive part of my upbringing. It meant enough that it’s the way we’re choosing to raise our children.”

Ella and Kate are a part of the everyday operation, representing the next generation to grow up in the beef industry. “Both spent a lot of hours and days in all aspects of what we do,” Matt shares. It’s been a great opportunity to teach my children responsibility, from 4-H projects to everything else we do. I’m proud that they understand that there is a right way and a wrong way to handle things, and it’s been a great opportunity for us to open their eyes to how things should be done in this world.”

The show ring has remained a part of the Oval F program, and the Fischer family has had many successes including state fair winners and champions at the American Royal, North American International Livestock Exposition, and National Western Stock Show. Don shares, “We’ve been pretty active in the show ring.

We have approached it as a marketing and advertising

activity as much as anything. It also kept our kids active, and it helped to develop a work ethic and pride of ownership in them,” he continues.

The Fischer family has remained committed to the Simmental breed, and plans to continue adding generations of powerful cows to their herd.

“To carry on the legacy my parents built has honestly been a lot of fun,” Matt concludes. n Editor’s note: Oval F Ranch was featured in the Stand Strong Simmental series by the Grant Company. The video can be viewed on YouTube by scanning this QR code:

Best Practices to Receive the Most Accurate Genetic Predictions

Jackie Atkins, PhD

Matt Spangler, PhD

Bob Weaber, PhD

Wade Shafer, PhD

1 Clearly define breeding objectives

With the ability to increase the rate of genetic change comes the possibility to make mistakes at a faster pace. Breeding goals need to be clearly identified to ensure that selection at the nucleus level matches the profit-oriented needs of the commercial industry.

2 Use whole herd reporting

Inventory-based reporting captures more complete phenotypes on reproduction and longevity traits, and thus creates more accurate genetic selection tools.

3 Properly define contemporary groups

It is important for the precision of the genetic evaluation to group animals treated uniformly. Proper reporting of contemporary groups reduces bias in EPD.

4 Take data collection and reporting seriously

Phenotypes are the fuel that drives the genetic evaluation. Take pride in collecting accurate data. Report records on the complete contemporary group in order to paint the most accurate picture of the genetics in these cattle. If possible, collect additional phenotypes like mature cow weight, cow body condition score, udder scores, feed intake, and carcass data.

5 Make both thorough and accurate

phenotypic data collection for economically relevant traits a high priority

The quantity and quality of fertility traits need to dramatically improve. Providing disposal codes to identify why females leave the herd is vital. Commercial data resources, where the true economically relevant traits exist, are going to become more critical to capture. Breeders can help prove the genetics of their own seedstock by encouraging their commercial customers to join ASA’s Commercial Total Herd Enrollment (THE) option and add valuable data to the evaluation.

6 Use index-based selection

As the list of published EPD continues to grow, using economic selection indices will become even more helpful to reduce the complexity of multiple trait selection.

If the number of EPD increase, tools to reduce the complexity of sire selection for commercial producers must continue to develop. Breed associations and seedstock producers have the obligation to aid commercial clientele in making profitable bull selection decisions.

16

Register / September 2023

7 Use genomics

Genomic selection offers an opportunity to increase the rate of genetic change and break the antagonistic relationship between generation interval (the average age of the parents when the next generation is born) and the accuracy of selection (e.g., accuracy of EPD) — two components that determine the rate of genetic change. However, as with any tool, genomic information must be used correctly and to its fullest extent.

Adding a DNA test to your decision is like knowing . . . u 25+ calving ease scores u 22 birth weights u 25+ weaning weights u 25+ yearling weights u Stayability/productivity records on 15 daughters u 6 carcass weights u 10 marbling scores u 8 ribeye area measurements

All this from a test you can complete before you wean the calf.

Total Herd Enrollment (THE)

Best Practices for Genomic Testing

1 All animals within a contemporary group should be genotyped.

If genomic data are meant to truly enable selection decisions, this information must be collected on animals before selection decisions are made. The return on investment of this technology is substantially reduced if it is used after the decision is made.

The ASA’s Calf Crop Genomics (CCG) program offers 50% off GGP100K test for breeders who commit to genotype the entire calf crop. See sidebar for more details.

2 Both male and female animals should be genotyped.

The promise of genomic selection has always suggested the largest impact is for lowly heritable and/or sex limited (e.g., fertility) traits or those that are not routinely collected (e.g.,disease). This is indeed true, but it necessitates that genotyped animals have phenotypes. For sex-limited traits, this becomes a critical choke point, given that historically the vast the vast majority of genotyped cattle are males. If producers wish to have genomic-enhanced EPD for traits such as calving ease maternal and heifer pregnancy, they must begin or continue to genotype females. The ASA has a unique program called the Cow Herd DNA Roundup (CHR) to help herds collect female genotypes. See sidebar for more details.

3 Genotypes can provide useful

information in addition to predictions of additive genetic merit.

Do not forget the value in correcting parentage errors, tracking inbreeding levels, identifying unfavorable haplotypes, estimating breed composition, and estimating retained heterozygosity. All of these can be garnered from populations that have a well-defined set of genotyping protocols.

The beef industry should be congratulated for the rapid adoption of genomic technology, but there is a lot of work to do. Of critical importance is the fact that genomic technology will continue to change and does not replace the need for phenotypes nor the fundamental understanding of traditional selection principles including EPD and accuracy.

A cow inventory reporting program, THE requires participants to provide annual reproductive and inventory status on their cow herd.

THE is designed to improve quality of data submitted for the genetic evaluation, and in turn improve and develop reproductive EPD. By submitting data on the entire calf crop or contemporary group, breeders will receive more accurate predictions of their cattle. The ASA has four THE options to fit most seedstock and commercial operations.

Cow Herd DNA Roundup (CHR) The Cow Herd DNA Roundup (CHR) is designed to increase the number of female genotypes to better predict maternal traits, such as maternal calving ease. Genotyping entire herds reduces bias created when only the best cattle are genotyped. Gathering massive amounts of genotypes on entire cow herds will significantly improve the genomic predictions and rate of genetic progress. As parentage testing is included, CHR herds will have pedigrees validated through DNA. Participating breeders benefit from having genomically enhanced EPD on the entire cow herd — equivalent to a lifetime number of calf records in several traits for an exceptionally low cost.

Calf Crop Genomics (CCG) Calf Crop Genomics, a research project launched by the ASA in collaboration with Neogen Genomics, offers 50% off GGP100K genomic test including parentage ($25 compared to $50 equivalent test) to participating breeders who test their entire calf crop. Genotyping entire calf crops is important to use genomically enhanced EPD (GE-EPD) for selection decisions, reduce selection bias in genomic predictions, and increase the volume of genotyped animals for future improvements to genetic predictions. The latter two points make any singular genomic test in the future better for all members using genomics.

Carcass Expansion Project (CXP) Despite the importance of carcass traits to our industry, few producers devote resources to collecting and recording actual carcass data. While the Carcass Merit Program (CMP) is a valuable progeny test, it is limited in the number of records produced. We cannot depend on the CMP alone to bring in carcass data. In the age of genomics, it is clear we need genotypes on animals with actual carcass phenotypes.

Adding another layer of commitment to predicting carcass traits, the ASA initiated a new program, called the Carcass Expansion Project, in the fall of 2018 to increase the number of carcass records on genotyped animals. The ASA is are ramping up both phenotypic and genotypic data collection on terminal calves — a vital part of our vision.

Elliott was a member of the K-State College of Agriculture Ambassadors and served as the director of public relations and marketing for the Blue Key Senior Honor Society. He is currently the president of Collegiate Cattlemen’s Club.

BIF Recognizes Industry Leaders The Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) presented awards on July 5 during the group’s annual research symposium in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. More than 300 beef producers, academia and industry representatives attended the organization’s 55th Annual Research Symposium and Convention in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. BIF’s mission is to help improve the industry by promoting greater acceptance of beef cattle performance evaluation.

Dr. Stewart Bauck, Lincoln, Nebraska, received the Pioneer Award, which recognizes individuals who have made lasting contributions to the improvement of beef cattle, honoring those who have had a major role in acceptance of performance reporting and documentation as the primary means to make genetic change in beef cattle. Bauck has been a pioneer in the industry. A 1981 graduate of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, he entered mixed practice before returning to obtain a master’s degree in veterinary herd health. In 1986, Bauck joined the team responsible for developing and commercializing ivermectin globally, which led him to be the country manager in Canada for Merial (now Boehringer Ingelheim). In 2003, Bauck saw the emerging

R_F_BIF Awards 2023.qxp_Layout 1 8/17/23 1:31 PM Page 3

genomic technology and launched the Igenity Livestock Production Business Unit in September 2003 with a single product: Igenity L (for leptin). At Igenity, Bauck led many cutting-edge projects, and was responsible for much of the funding that went into building the original Bovine SNP 50 chip from Illumina. He worked with Angus Genetics Inc. and the University of Missouri to launch the first genomic enhanced EPD from that early chip genotyping.

In 2012, Neogen acquired Igenity. Bauck moved to Lincoln to GeneSeek where he spent ten years building out a global network of laboratories and services designed to provide high throughput, low cost, and rapid turnaround genotyping in agriculture.

David Bolduc, Rocky View County, Alberta, also received the Pioneer Award. In 2018 Bolduc was recognized with the inaugural Certified Angus Beef Canadian Commitment to Excellence Award for vision and determination to produce genetics that perform for their commercial buyers and yield excellent beef. He has generously contributed his time and mentorship to the industry, sitting on various boards including the Canadian Angus Association, Canadian Beef Breeds Council, BIF, and Canadian Beef Grading Agency at a time when they made significant progress and important decisions.

“Bolduc is a true pioneer,” says Kajal Devani, Canadian Angus Association director of science and technology.

“He embodies not just using science and technology, but actively seeks and participates in innovation. Bolduc is always willing and eager to step up and participate in research and development projects whether it involves genomics or scoring cows for teat and udder structure or foot structure.”

Additionally, Warren Snelling received a BIF Pioneer Award. Snelling is a pioneer in developing methods for identification of functional polymorphisms, a key technology for increasing the accuracy of future genetic predictions and expanding our understanding of the genomic mechanisms in cattle. As a research geneticist in the genetics, breeding and animal health research unit of the US Meat Animal Research Center at Clay Center, Nebraska, he has authored and co-authored more than 80 peer-reviewed and other research papers, including work that is part of the key concepts used in understanding of livestock genomics and genetic prediction. Snelling’s career has always been focused on what is useful and directly applicable to producers.

Dr. Jenny Bormann received a BIF Continuing Service Award. Continuing Service Award winners have made major contributions to the BIF organization. This includes serving on the board of directors, speaking at BIF conventions, working on BIF guidelines and other behind-thescenes activities. As BIF is a volunteer organization, it is

this contribution of time and passion for the beef cattle industry that moves BIF forward. Bormann served as a BIF Symposium speaker in 2019, 2021, and 2022, was a reviewer of the ninth edition of the BIF Guidelines in 2009, and contributed to the initial BIF Guidelines Wiki in 2019. She earned her bachelor’s in animal science and doctorate in animal breeding and genetics from Iowa State University and her master’s from Oklahoma State University. She joined the Kansas State University Animal Sciences and Industry faculty in 2004. In 2022, Bormann transitioned to the K-State College of Agriculture and is currently serving as an assistant dean. Specializing in beef breeding and genetics, Bormann has worked on a number of projects, including collaborations with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the American Angus Association and the American Simmental Association. She has taught K-State courses in genetics, animal breeding principles, advanced animal breeding, equine genetics and introductory horse lab, and advised undergraduate students. She also has served as lead advisor for the KSU Pre-Vet Club.

Bruce Holmquist, a recipient of the Continuing Service Award, has spent his entire life in the beef cattle business and has been a lifelong advocate for the importance of a strong seedstock sector as the foundation for a thriving and profitable beef industry. First and foremost, Bruce is a third-generation cattle producer. In 1977, at the age of 16, Holmquist began his own seedstock herd when he purchased his first Simmentals. Through the years he grew and expanded the business under the name Spruce Grove Cattle Co., and now is extremely proud to see his children and grandchildren carrying the operations of the family business. Holmquist has been actively involved in leadership roles for over two decades. He was first elected as a director of the Canadian Simmental Association (CSA) in 2000 and served in various capacities, including as president in 2005–2006. Following his contributions as a board member, he joined the CSA staff and leads the organization today as general manager. In addition to his work with the CSA, Bruce has served in leadership roles for the Canadian Beef Breeds Council, Canadian Western Agribition, Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association and World Simmental Fleckvieh Federation.

Notice of Updating HerdBook’s Programming Logic – Purebred Simbrah Classifications In September of 2022, the ASA Board of Trustees and staff of ASA were notified of a concern regarding the Purebred Simbrah classification some animals received. Upon an in-depth review, ASA determined that the programming logic in HerdBook Services (herdbook.org) from 2013 gave an animal a Purebred Simbrah classification where another interpretation would classify these same animals as Percentage Simbrah.

The ASA Board met on Monday, November 28, 2022, and passed two resolutions that clarified the interpretation of the programming logic to be used for the Simbrah Registry – Breed Classification and provided for the implementation of the clarification.

The updated programming logic was implemented on December 15, 2022, (the “2022 Programing Logic”). This notice is to inform the membership that for some records currently classified as Purebred Simbrah (referred to as the 2013 Programming Logic), the 2022 Programming Logic will classify these same animal records as Percentage Simbrah. To read the full clarification go to simmental.org.

Fourth Quarter Cost-Share Funds Available The fourth quarter of the 2022–2023 fiscal year ended on June 30.

The CCG offers a 50% off GGP-100K genomic test including parentage ($25 compared to $50 equivalent test) to participating breeders who test their entire calf crop group.

The CHR program also continues to accept new herds. The project tests females at $25 per sample for a GGP100K genomic test. Members must test 90% of their calving-age cows to qualify for the reduced price. When members submit mature cow body weights and

body condition scores or hip heights on 90% of their calving-age cows, they will receive a $5 credit to their account for each reported cow. Cows must be 18 months of age or older when mature cow measurements are taken to qualify for the $5 credit.

The $5 credit will only be applied once in an animal’s life. For example, if a member received a credit for the phenotypes in 2018 for that cow, they cannot receive another credit for the same cow with a new weight and BCS in 2019.

Additional requirements apply for both programs. Please visit simmental.org, and email researchdna@simmgene.com for full program requirements and more information.

BEEF BUSINESS USDA Warns of Market Concentration

Legislation Would Repeal FDA Rule

Market concentration and its impact on pricing and competition have increased dramatically in recent years — that’s according to a new report from USDA’s Economic Research Service. Entitled “Concentration and Competition in US Agribusiness,” the report details consolidation across several industries, including the meatpacking sector. The share of meatpacking sales held by the largest firms has increased sharply over the last four decades. In 2019, for example, the four largest meatpackers accounted for 85% of steer and heifer slaughter and 67% of hog slaughter.

The report attributes this consolidation to shifts of production to larger plants as well as improved technologies, which helped companies realize economies of scale. As packers built bigger plants, they also developed relationships with livestock producers, either through direct ownership or contracts. These changes pushed many smaller plants and ultimately pushed livestock producers out of business. While there have been many mergers in meat and poultry processing, the report notes that few of these mergers involved rival packers. As a result, these mergers had only a modest effect on concentration.

Though it is widely believed that market concentration decreases competition and drives up prices, according to the report, market consolidation can facilitate innovation and economies of scale that can lower market prices. While that was the case prior to 2010, the report points to rising spreads between processor prices paid for livestock, suggesting that meatpackers have been able to exercise greater power over livestock prices of the last decade, than in the past. New entry and plant expansion among incumbent producers will determine whether such market power can be maintained, the report concluded.

A pair of US Representatives have introduced legislation that seeks to reverse FDA guidelines restricting the use of over-thecounter livestock antibiotics. The so-called “Stop Government Overreach in Ranching Act” will take aim at FDA’s “GFI 263” guidance, which took effect in June and requires a veterinarian to first issue livestock owners a prescription for commonly used antibiotics like penicillin, oxytetracycline, gentamicin, and others often acquired at local feed stores.

The bill seeks to repeal this FDA guidance and prohibit the agency from issuing a substantially similar guidance or rule.

“This sentiment from our farmers and ranchers regarding the veterinary feed direction has been clear and nearly unanimous. It is an unnecessary added expense and will be an undue burden on producers. Our livestock producers have years of experience managing these antibiotics; they know what their animals need to thrive,” said a spokesman for the American Farmers and Ranchers/ Oklahoma Farmers Union. GFI 263 is part of a larger effort by the FDA and World Health Organization to reduce antimicrobial resistance across the globe.

Several Reasons for Slow Herd Expansion

by Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University The mid-year cattle inventory report confirmed cattle numbers continue to get smaller, and there is no significant indication of herd rebuilding so far.

FLECKVIEH FORUM

by Larry H. Maxey, founder and superintendent, NAILE Fullblood Simmental Shows larryhmaxey@gmail.com

North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE), Louisville, Kentucky Allow me to take a one edition pause in the “Our Pioneers” series and provide a timely update about the 2023 NAILE. Over the years I have covered the historical background of the NAILE, its long tenure in Chicago, its massive portrait collection, its journey to Louisville, Kentucky, and more. This relocation happened as a result of a huge financial commitment from the state of Kentucky and the vision of our state leadership about the potential for this storied venue. This all started in earnest in the early 1970s.

Encompassing nearly 500 acres near the airport in Louisville, the Kentucky Exposition Center was originally built in 1956.

Steady growth has seen the complex undergo enormous expansion over the years, becoming the sixth-largest facility of its type in the US, with 1,300,000 square feet of indoor space. It also has nearly 700,000 square feet of Class A exhibit space. These grounds and facilities are used year round, hosting a wide array of activities, with one of those being the NAILE in November of each year.

This year will be the 50th anniversary for the NAILE in Louisville, a longevity that is a major achievement of its own in the modern area of constant change. It is my understanding that the NAILE leadership, with full encouragement and support from the State of Kentucky, have made plans for a special celebration.

I have been told it will be conducted in a manner worthy of achieving this milestone.

A little research on my part revealed that our Simmental breed was present from the earliest days. Records show that a Simmental sale was held there in 1974. This was quite an accomplishment given that our Continental breed was the “new kid on the block.”

After all, only a few years prior in 1967, the first Simmental, the bull Parisien, was imported to Canada from France. The following year saw the formation of the American Simmental Association.

No one expected the overwhelming interest the Simmental breed would create in North America in such a short period of time.

Their presence at the NAILE and other exhibition venues across the continent grew exponentially.

As I reflected upon what this anniversary meant it occurred to me that perhaps the stars had aligned for both our breed and the NAILE. And, added to that alignment is the fact that the ASA will be conducting their 2023–2024 National SimGenetics Show during that time as well. Given those occurrences I believe there are enormous opportunities for our breed to promote and showcase what we have become over those 50 years.

In addition to those factors, 2023 will represent a number of firsts for the Fullblood Simmental segment. For the first time, our open Fullblood show — the Pinnacle — and our Fleckvieh crossbred show — the Fleck Effect — will be held in Freedom Hall. We will kick off a full day of Simmental shows at 8 AM Tuesday, November 14, followed by the Purebred and Percentage Open Simmental Shows, all in that historic arena.

Another first for our Fullbloods will be the eligibility of our junior association grand champion heifer to compete in the

28

Register / September 2023

Championship Drive on Sunday evening (November 12). Our Fullblood Simmental-Fleckvieh Federation (FSFF) Junior Association continues to grow thanks to the efforts of the FSFF and their members. At last count I believe we had 43 youngsters enrolled and they are eager to compete for this new challenge.

It is safe to say that the Simmental breed has been a major contributor to the success and staying power of the NAILE from its inception. Many thousands of head of Simmental cattle have kicked the green shavings over those 50 years. In consideration of that level of involvement, the National Simmental Show and the “firsts” referenced for our Fullbloods, plans are being made by the ASA as of this writing to have some special festivities to commemorate our long-tenured and meaningful contributions to the NAILE. Details of these plans are forthcoming and will be announced soon. This will add to and enhance the continued support by the ASA. I view 2023 as a starting point to commit to a strong relationship with the NAILE for the next 50 years. When you consider that the state of Kentucky announced last year their commitment to the Kentucky Exposition Center in the next few years will be in excess of $400 million, it is in our best interests to be forwardthinking and strive to be a part of the growth that will come.

Hopefully, working cooperatively with the NAILE and making creative and sustainable plans will ensure a bright future for all.

If you haven’t been to the NAILE in a while, this year would be a great time to visit once again. Please join us in Louisville this November and be a part of this bold and exciting next halfcentury.

Appreciatively, Larry H. Maxey P.S. The regular Fleckvieh Forum column will resume with the next edition of the Register. I am pleased to report that consistent with the meaning of a forum, many of our readers are providing feedback that has been well received. I expect to share some of this feedback with you down the road. n

AJSA CONNECTION Developing leaders through friendship, networking, and communication skills!

by Kaitlyn Cloud, president As the years go on, it seems like each summer gets shorter and shorter. They always go by in the blink of an eye regardless of how much time you think you have. Like many others, my summer felt like it was go go go all the time. After numerous plane rides, different cities, and late nights, I realized this summer was a little different than the rest. It made me realize that my summers as a “kid” are slowly but surely coming to an end soon.

You do not realize how many summers you took for granted until you realize that you are slowly running out of them. However, while the summer is always hectic, time always seems to stop while I am at the National Classic. Maybe I am being a little biased, but Simmental events truly are the greatest experiences. Whether it was at Regionals, National Classic, or even The Summit this year, I realized that the best is yet to come for the Simmental breed. And that makes me even more excited to be the president of the AJSA for the next year. I have become the

person I am because of this breed and it has been so amazing to watch so many other kids grow up in this breed as well.

If you have been attending Simmental events for a while, you too have gotten to see firsthand just how much our breed has grown and evolved, even just in the past three years. Not only as the president, but as a junior member and breeder, it is so exciting to see just how much our Association is growing. Regardless of what size we continue to grow to, one of my main goals for the next year is to continue the “family feel” of our Association. I want kids to have the opportunity for more social moments to connect with other juniors within the breed.

We truly are like one big family and I believe that our juniors should have the opportunity to gain connections that will last them a lifetime.

I am so honored and humbled to have been elected by my peers to be the AJSA president, and I am even more excited to get a front row seat in watching our junior membership grow.

This summer I was shown and reminded of the phrase, “the best is yet to come,” and I truly believe that is also the case for the American Junior Simmental Association. n

“I have become the person I am because of this breed.”

“I love this program and appreciate that it is flexible for other activities. I like it more when Cowan can be on the live webinar, but that’s life. The data is awesome, and it’s a great learning experience.

Many of the assignments were high-level. I think that is great but can be daunting when even the parents aren’t awesome at it.”

– Natasha Mortenson, participant “She really enjoyed it all, and the varied content was awesome!

The hands-on things she enjoyed more than the papers, but that is her being young.” – Chelsea Faulhaber, parent “I enjoyed participating in the SPC Contest this year a ton. My favorite part was honestly probably making my steers ration! It was so different than any of the other assignments and it honestly took things to a whole different perspective for me. As always, every year I seem to learn more and more. I love the topics that the webinars go over and they have awesome speakers/presenters this year so it made it really fun to listen to. There was nothing that I disliked this year, you guys all made it really fun for me anyways and I really enjoyed it.”

– Audrey Redalen, participant “I greatly appreciate how this program has continued to be open to feedback and evolve! An example that especially resonates with me as a parent is how the assignments have developed into truly educational experiences. The first year of the SPC program primarily focused on the assignments summarizing the content of the webinars. This year the participants have had the opportunity to showcase through a number of different avenues what they’ve learned. These learning activities accommodate diverse types of learning styles and help to solidify the information in a meaningful way! As a parent and a Simmental breeder, this program is so valuable in my eyes. Please continue to communicate what we can do to support this program!” – Abbie Redalen, parent “I liked to learn about everything and I think it will all help me moving forward.” – Cowan Mortenson, participant “I enjoy the data! Grace and I enjoy working together, particularly using good data for making decisions and then evaluating our results.

This is one of the reasons we continue to participate in the SPC, to learn more about our own operation from the terminal side. I am encouraged that she gets excited about topics that she is learning from.” – Chuck Ewing, parent

BEEF BUSINESS (Continued from page 27) enough decrease in beef cow slaughter to initiate herd expansion, although the most recent weekly slaughter data are encouraging. The process thus far is considerably slower than the herd expansion after the drought in 2011–2013 pushed cattle inventories to a cyclical low in 2014. There are several reasons why producers are moving more slowly and cautiously thus far.

Continuing Drought: This is still an issue in significant regions of cattle country. While drought is not likely causing a great deal of additional herd liquidation from a broader market perspective, it surely is preventing herd expansion in those drought-stricken areas.

Drought Recovery: Pastures and ranges in locations recently emerged from drought need time to heal after two to three years of drought damage and stress. Hay supplies are depleted and must be replenished. Many regions are still vulnerable to redeveloping drought and there is uncertainty that forage production may remain restricted.

Financial Recovery: Many cattle operations have suffered from considerable financial stress from drought and high input costs. The short-run need to realize immediate returns from higher cattle prices may be causing continued heifer and cull cow sales for now.

Input Cost Uncertainty: High, and in many cases record high, input prices were a particular challenge in 2022. Record hay prices and elevated supplemental feed costs have had a huge impact in drought regions. Record- or near-record-high fertilizer, chemical, and fuel costs have been a significant challenge for producers, especially in regions of introduced pastures. Though some input prices have moderated in 2023, input price uncertainty has producers reacting cautiously to higher cattle prices.

Interest Rates: Not only are input costs higher, but sharply higher interest rates creates a different economic climate that may temper the pace of herd expansion compared to the 2014–2019 period. Higher finance costs will be a much more significant factor as breeding heifer and cow costs rise in the coming months.

Producer Expectations: All of the above factors contribute to the economic backdrop of the industry and become part of the producer expectations that are the key to herd rebuilding. Until enough cow-calf producers anticipate enough returns for a long enough period of time, herd expansion will be tempered. In the meantime, cattle supplies will continue to tighten. Market prices for calves and feeder cattle will continue to increase as the market provides more price incentives that will eventually strengthen producer expectations and jump-start herd expansion. That process is likely to begin in earnest in the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

Cattle Rustlers Target Valuable Livestock: Are You At Risk?

by Paige Carlson, Bovine Veterinarian While stolen cattle headlines surface occasionally, cattle rustling is far from simply being a part of Wild West history. Considering today’s economy of high cattle prices, cattle might be an extra “hot” commodity.

Across the US, brand committees and livestock boards serve livestock producers in identification and ownership and should be notified when livestock is missing or presumably stolen.

Sure, there’s the occasional stray cow or calf that makes its way through the fence and down the road a few miles, but the following numbers are slightly more significant. In 2023 alone, 454 head of cattle have been reported as missing/stolen in Nebraska, 177 in Montana, 74 in North Dakota, and 71 in South Dakota, according to reports on their respective sites.

In Wyoming, between 2017 and 2022, nearly 4,000 head of livestock have been reported missing, according to the Wyoming Livestock Board and a local news article.

Change of ownership through sale or gift and out-of-state travel are automatic triggers for brand inspection in most participating states. However, this presents its own challenges. States with partial brand inspection areas, including Nebraska and South Dakota, can provide an easy escape route for thieves to obtain livestock, leave the brand inspection area and cash out.

“It doesn’t take much knowledge or experience to gather some cattle and load them,” says CJ Fell, a criminal investigator for the Nebraska Brand Committee. “Once you’ve got them loaded, it’s just a matter of drive time to get out of state to a non-brand area.”

Unfortunately, the biggest challenge is timing, Steve True, director of the Wyoming Livestock Board, told the Cowboy State Daily. In many cases, by the time owners start looking for missing cattle it might as well be a cold case.

Brand inspection states include Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. This leaves a large number of states across the US without a formal registration of livestock ownership identification.

While it’s more often that livestock are loaded on a trailer to be stolen, some thieves prefer to kill, butcher, and haul the meat away on the spot. True told Cowboy State Daily that this type of livestock theft isn’t frequent but happens nearly every year in Wyoming.

For example, in early July 2023, a calf in a southwestern Wyoming county was killed, and the thieves took out the animal’s front and rear quarters, backstraps and tenderloins, dumping the remainder of the carcass. Additionally, the calf’s left ear was cut off, presumably to hide any evidence of an ear tag.

Keeping accurate records, Fell says, is the best way for cattle producers to prevent theft. Additionally, the use of a brand is the easiest way to trace livestock back to their rightful owners, says Ben Eggleston, special ranger for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA). Without a brand, cattle are an easy target for theft.

Locking gates, pastures, and corrals, and permanently identifying livestock and equipment can help deter theft, Fell and Eggleston add. Unfortunately, Eggleston notes, victims of agricultural theft often know the culprit.

“I hate to think of the percentage of cases where we’ve had a successful conclusion and you find out you know who stole from you,” says Eggleston, who has spent 30 years in law enforcement and 15 years as a TSCRA special ranger. “You have to know who you are doing business with.”

If cattle theft is suspected, producers should immediately alert authorities to increase the chances of recovering the stolen property, Fell advises. “People are following in their family’s footsteps by raising cattle,” Eggleston adds. “It is very personal when somebody steals from something that is a legacy.” n

9-23 Corporate Report.qxp_Layout 1 8/18/23 11:44 AM Page 2

CORPORATE REPORT JBS Hiring Sanitation Workers The newly created JBS Sanitation Company is in the process of hiring a majority of the cleaning crew being laid off by scandalscarred Packers Sanitation Services Inc. (PSSI) in Marshalltown, Iowa. The cleaning company announced plans to lay off 125 workers in Marshalltown later this summer, after losing contracts with processors that included the JBS USA pork processing plant in Marshalltown. A total of 76 of the affected workers, 64 hourly workers, and a dozen managers have successfully transitioned to JBS Sanitation.

JBS USA indicated that it was working with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union to establish its own food safety and food plant sanitation company in the wake of conflicts over violations of federal child labor laws. The latest move follows decisions by JBS and several other meat processors who cut ties with PSSI after the company paid more than $1.5 million in fines to the US Department of Labor. Federal investigators found that teenagers and children were working at a total of more than a dozen US meat processing plants.

Nearly 3,000 Jobs Impacted in Latest Tyson Closures Tyson Foods’ cost-cutting decision to close another four poultry plants will impact several thousand workers in three states, suggest multiple published reports.

About 3,000 work at the facilities marked for closure, reports Bloomberg News, citing a person familiar with the matter. Tyson intends to relocate some employees to other facilities, the person added.

Tyson did not confirm a tally of people employed at the plants in Arkansas, Indiana, and Missouri, but one Arkansas publication estimates around 2,800 positions.

The majority involve Noel, Missouri, where about 1,500 work at the poultry production complex slated to shut in October, according to Talk Business & Politics. North Little Rock, Arkansas, processing plant will shave a further 200 jobs in October, TBP reports. Plants in Dexter, Missouri, and Corydon, Indiana, have 500 and 600 workers, respectively, and are scheduled to close early next year, according to the publication.

Tyson and other meat producers have seen profits take a hit amid a confluence of factors including supply and demand issues.

Beef Packer Margins at Worst Point Since 2018 A new batch of data and analysis has reiterated the present struggles in beef processing. According to the Daily Livestock Report, cattle slaughter for the final week of July was down 7.1% from the same period last year, with fed cattle slaughter down 6.5%. For all of July, it’s estimated that Saturday slaughter was down 50.3%.

The lower slaughter numbers, DLR explained, are “perfectly reasonable,” given that “packer margins are now at the lowest point they have been in five years.”

Packer and feedlot margins were further underscored by the latest Sterling Beef Profit Tracker, which detailed reversing fortunes for the two industries.

Packer margins for the week ending July 29 were -$101.95, versus -$81.48 the week before, $104.42 the month before, and $220.30 a year ago; in the last year, packer margins have fallen more than 146%.

Feedlot margins, meanwhile, have skyrocketed: A year ago, feedlots earned $83.04 a head, but last week, the margin was $442.92, an increase of 433%. A month ago, feedlot margins were at $434.13.

In an analysis of the Oklahoma cattle markets, professor Derrell Peel of Oklahoma State University noted that the current price of 500-pound steers “is just 8% below the record,” and that with heifer residual supply so low, “higher prices are ahead.” n

CUTTING EDGE Agricultural Cybersecurity Addressed Bipartisan legislation, co-sponsored by Republican Zachary Nunn of Iowa and North Carolina Democrat Don Davis, has been introduced in the US House. The bill is looking to protect the nation’s food supply from cyberattacks. It also proposes creating five regional agriculture cybersecurity centers located across the nation to research and develop security tools. Recent cyberattacks have shut down a number of food processing plants, targeted grain cooperatives during the harvest season, and put the US food supply at risk.

Cybersecurity has proven to be problematic for a number of agricultural businesses, including an attack that forced JBS USA to pay an $11 million ransom back in 2021. More recently, global food giant Sysco disclosed information about a cybersecurity breach involving customer information in a regulatory filing in June. Additionally, the two congressmen also introduced a measure intended to protect rural water systems from cyberattacks.

Industry Concerned by Cultivated Meat A recent USDA approval allowing commercialization of cultivated meat has the conventional ag industry on alert, and the regulation of so-called “fake meat,” has emerged as a priority for many leaders and corporations. Concerns over safety loom large in Iowa, one of the biggest livestock-producing states in the nation, with animal agriculture accounting for 186,000 jobs and billions of dollars in economic impact.

“More research is needed to understand cell-cultivated food products,” said an Iowa Beef Council spokesperson, urging government regulators and consumers to carefully consider the potential dangers of cultivated meat. Texas producers, who received more in farm subsidies between 1995 and 2021 than any other state, including $2.2 billion in the final year, have also had their eye on cultivated meat. In recent months, a Farm Bureausupported “truth in labeling” law was signed into law by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. That law was described as “aiming to protect the conventional ag industry from cultivated meat and other alternative protein products.”

Ensuring Animal Welfare Claims The USDA recently said that it will release new guidance and testing methods in an attempt to weed out false or misleading animal welfare claims on meat and poultry packaging. The USDA must approve all animal welfare claims, such as “pasture-raised” or “raised without antibiotics” before products can be sold.

Unlike “organic” claims, which are verified in person by government regulators, animal welfare claims are substantiated with paperwork self-submitted to the USDA. Both meat producers and animal welfare advocates say the USDA isn’t adequately confirming the claims or ensuring they meet consumer expectations.

The regulatory body will update its guidelines to require more documentation from companies making animal welfare claims. It will also strongly encourage companies to hire third-party verification groups that certify animal welfare claims. The agency may also update definitions of certain claims. Presently, producers self-define some label terms, including “humane.” To substantiate “no antibiotics” claims, the USDA also plans to explore testing options that can find traces of antibiotics in animals once they arrive at processing plants.

Register / September 2023

For many producers, this is a welcome change. Perdue Farms, a major poultry and pork producer recently asked the USDA to clarify the difference between “free range” and “pasture raised.”

Animal welfare groups also appreciated the news, claiming that “it benefits the animals, the earth, and the farmers who are spending more money to improve their practices, and it benefits the USDA because it makes their process easier,” said Dena Jones, director of the Animal Welfare Institute’s farmed animal program.

Former USDA Inspector Imprisoned A former USDA animal inspector has been ordered to serve nearly five months in a federal prison for accepting thousands of dollars in bribes from cattle brokers along the US-Mexico border in Texas. The man, Roberto Adams, 69, a resident of Laredo, Texas, pleaded guilty in April after having been indicted the previous month. A US District Judge ordered Adams to serve a total of 57 months, followed by three years of supervised release. The judge enhanced the sentence because Adams accepted more than one bribe payment while in a position of public trust for a total amount of more than $40,000.

In handing down the sentence, the judge noted that Adams did not understand the gravity of the crime that he committed nor the significance of the harm he did or could have caused by allowing diseased cattle into the country. He was also ordered to immediately pay $40,000 in fines. At the time of his plea, Adams had admitted that he accepted more than $40,000 in bribe payments from Mexican cattle brokers while he was acting in his official position as a USDA employee. In return, he allowed cattle to enter the United States without proper quarantine or inspection.

Adams served as a lead animal health technician at USDA for ten years. In that role, he was responsible for inspecting quarantining or excluding tick-infested or diseased cattle. He was one of two technicians the USDA employed at Laredo. The FBI and USDA Office of the Inspector General conducted the investigation that led to Adams’ sentencing.

Truth in Labeling Bill Signed Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a bill that requires alternative meat products to carry specific labels. The bill was recently passed by the Texas legislature. The law, which went into effect on September 1, aims to ensure that food labeled as containing meat does not “falsely or misleadingly include alternative protein sources.” State Representative Brad Buckley, who introduced the bill, said that the law “is a bill of definitions and is a bill that makes it clear that as technology advances and innovation drives the market, consumers will be able to tell very easily by reading the label exactly what they are purchasing.”

It requires that plant-based alt-meat products be labeled with one of the following terms: “analogue,” “meatless,” “plantbased,” “made from plants,” or a similar qualifying term. The law also specifically addresses cultivated meat, requiring products to be labeled with “cell-cultured,” “lab grown,” or a similar qualifying term. The new law is similar to a wide range of laws across the nation, many of which have been challenged in court by advocacy groups, legal organizations, and plant-based meat companies. To this point, laws in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas have been overturned, while cases in Missouri and Oklahoma are pending.

New Tool Evaluates Embryo Health

by Rhonda Brooks, Bovine Veterinarian A new animal health company, EmGenisys, has created what it describes as the first non-invasive and objective method to evaluate a bovine embryo’s health to improve the success rates of embryo transfer and in-vitro fertilization.

“We are scanning embryos and using software to provide veterinarians and IVF enterprises with more objective data regarding an embryo’s developmental stress, metabolic function, and overall health,” says Cara Wells, founder and CEO. The company has developed a web-based platform, EmGenuity, which hosts an advanced analytics and machine learning assessment called EmVision. When using the tools, cattle pregnancy rates for both beef and dairy can be improved by up to 20%, the company reports.

How It Works EmVision allows veterinarians to record 30-second videos of embryos with their smartphone, upload videos into the company’s web-based platform and receive a digital report with detailed information.

The resulting information can help practitioners determine whether to keep an embryo or discard it, thereby optimizing the breeding strategy for a dairy or beef producer.

“Veterinarians using the system can create a higher level of satisfaction for their clients when they get higher pregnancy rates.” Wells says. “They’re going to identify more viable embryos, so they’re not going to be transferring bad embryos, which is great from cost and labor perspectives.”

Improved Accuracy Historically, technicians have graded embryos by evaluating

their cell shape, size, and color under a microscope. Wells believes the pitfalls from that approach are twofold. First, she says technicians don’t always have sufficient knowledge and experience to determine which embryos are good. The second challenge is that many things happen inside an embryo that the human eye can’t see.

“A healthy embryo should be growing, it should be using energy, it should be dividing, and doing the things it needs to do to become a calf,” Wells says. “Sometimes we can’t visually tell which ones are growing in a healthy way and which ones could even be dying.”

She adds that as the EmGenisys technology was being developed, her team realized that IVF embryos and conventionally flushed embryos develop a little bit differently, and they made adjustments. “We had to create models specific for those,” she says. “We’ve also realized there are differences in beef species versus dairy species, and just a lot of variables that we’ve used to improve our prediction accuracy.”

Go-To Market Strategy Wells says the company’s direct customers will be veterinarians, embryologists, and IVF enterprises. “But it is the cattle producer that bears the economic burden of failed pregnancy, so it’s really critical for them that every embryo that gets transferred is alive and viable and produces that calf that they just spent money making,” she says. “So, I see beef and dairy producers as important influencers and advocates for the technology.”

Wells says EmGenisys is ramping up to introduce the technology commercially this year. “Our go-to market plan is to do custom pilots where we train the data specifically for the different farms on their embryos with their production protocol, so we can have the best performance possible,” she says. n

US Meat Exports Sag as Brazil’s Soar While US meat exports are relatively unchanged, Brazil’s market continues to set records, according to the latest World Markets and Trade analysis from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Brazil’s market currently enjoys advantages across all species. Cattle prices have “declined significantly” below that of Uruguay and Argentina, supporting exports to Southeast Asia, South America, and Middle East markets; Brazil is free of HPAI outbreaks in commercial poultry operations, and therefore faces no restrictions in chicken exports; and declining feed prices have meant competitive prices for pork.

USDA’s specific numbers bear out these trends: Brazil’s beef exports have risen from 2,898 thousand metric tons in July 2022 to 3,050 in July 2023, while US exports are down from 1,608 to 1,458; furthermore, while US cattle stocks are down 3% from last year, Brazil’s stocks continue to increase.

Similarly, while US poultry exports are up from 3,316 thousand metric tons in July 2022 to 3,358 this year, Brazil posted a stronger increase from 4,447 to 4,825.

One space where the US remains in the lead is pork exports, which rose year-to-date by nearly 9% to 3,136 thousand metric tons; Brazil’s were up more than 13%, but its production of 1,500 metric tons is less than half of that for the United States.

Dutch Company Meatable Raises $35M Dutch cultivated meat startup Meatable announced that it has secured $35 million in a Series B funding round led by UK-based venture capital firm Agronomics. The company has said this funding will support its pork sausage and dumpling launch in Singapore next year.

The funding round includes $17 million from Dutch impact fund Invest-NL, as well as support from existing investors including BlueYard, Bridford Group, Milky Way Ventures and DSM Venturing.

The company, now operating from a pilot facility in the Netherlands while planning a move to a larger facility later this fall, said it plans to launch in Singapore and the US in the coming years.

In Singapore, Meatable recently conducted tastings and produces products in collaboration with contract manufacturer Esco Aster. It is also co-developing its product range with plant-based butcher Love Handle.

Meatable’s products will be hybrid, combining cultivated and plant-based meat. The company aims to have its sausages and pork dumplings available in restaurants by 2024 and in retail stores by 2025.

This latest round brings the company’s total funding to $95 million, and comes on the heels of the company’s fifth anniversary.

Australian Beef Exports to US Increase Australian beef exports to the US experienced a significant surge in May, making a turnaround after a period of slumping trade. The exports to the US reached a record monthly tally of 19,787 tons, a substantial 44% increase compared to the previous month and the highest figure in the current year. The boost in exports comes as the US deals with reduced domestic production due to drought-driven herd reduction.

Register / September 2023

The surge in Australian beef shipments to the US, along with solid growth in other export markets, reflects the positive momentum and increased supply in Australia’s beef industry.

Australia was fifth in beef exports to the US behind Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and New Zealand in the first quarter of 2023.

Shipments to all export markets reached 100,838 tons, marking an increase of 27% from April.

China emerged as Australia’s largest volume market for the second consecutive month. Other markets, including South Korea, Indonesia, and the Middle East, also record growth in Australian beef imports. However, the trade with the United Kingdom remained minimally ahead of the new Free Trade Agreement, which came into effect on June 1, eliminating tariffs on future exports.

Global Cattle Production Steady Global beef supplies are expected to remain balanced over the next 12 months, according to a new report from Rabobank.

Increased beef production in Brazil and Australia will offset declines in US production as both nations are expecting an increase in export volumes as domestic consumption holds steady or declines. Brazil’s beef exports to China were strong in May after a soft April, and higher cattle populations in Australia are driving higher slaughter numbers and lower cattle prices.

The report covering the second quarter of 2023 found that production in Brazil was up by 2% and Australia was up by 7%, which will offset a decline in US beef production, which fell by 2% in the period.

US and Canadian cattle markets, meanwhile, are diverging from other beef producing and exporting nations. Both North American neighbors posted declining production values during the quarter, resulting in new record prices for livestock and nearrecord highs for wholesale beef prices. Retailers, however, largely protected consumers from price increases for beef products in the quarter. The public was also warned that drought is a concern in major US cow-calf producing states in upcoming quarters, which will affect the global cattle markets. n

Questions, contact cmp@simmgene.com for more information regarding this program.

*The CMP is a structured young sire progeny test. Participating cooperator herds will random sample their cow herd with CMP semen, and the resulting male (or female) progeny will be harvested with individual carcass data gathered. ASA Staff will work with cooperator herds to provide bulls that fit the general criteria of your management program; however, only bulls nominated into the CMP program may be used. Producers are encouraged to be somewhat proficient in Microsoft Excel for accurate and consistent record-keeping.
